Just got back from Branson, where I rode the Ozark Wildcat at Celebration City (mighty nice little woodie, I must say!) and it got me reminiscing about the old Wildcat at the original Elitch Gardens (sigh, I miss that park...). Then I was watching a show on PBS about older theme parks, and there's another Wildcat at Hersheypark!

So out of curiosity I did a search for "Wildcat" here, and there were 17 Wildcats listed. Can anyone think of any other names that get used more? I tried several - the closest I came was "Cyclone" with 15.

Mamoosh

Efnynet - I tried to include other spellings and languages in my searches.

Rob - while rcdb isn't complete it does have a lot of those defunct coasters in it's database. I searched for all coasters, not just those operating.

Andy - there are only 13 coasters with "Batman" in the name; only 11 with "Viper." Those names seem more popular than that because most of them are here in the states.

Chuck - Even if you only search for the word Dipper rcdb gives you 47, and that includes Big, Giant, Little Dippers and others.

Yes, Soggy, but that's like searching for the word "the." For example, your search results includes "Dragon Coaster" and "High Speed Thrill Coaster" in additon to rides simply named "Coaster." That's not how I conducted my search.
